What’s wrong with canned food? Well, you probably already know - TopicsExpress

What’s wrong with canned food? Well, you probably already know the answer to this! It’s the BPA, a toxin that seeps from the plastic liners in canned goods (and a host of other items made with plastic). Studies of BPA toxicity are ongoing, but it’s on the watchlist for being a hormone disruptor–leading to infertility and early onset puberty. Not everyone is sold on the premise that BPA is harmful. For instance, this BPA manufacturing company is totally cool with it, and the FDA says we can keep eating canned goods while they look into it. Those concerned with BPA should know that even products labeled as “BPA-free” may still leach hormone-disrupting chemicals. BPA isn’t the only reason to boycott canned food, though. Some canned goods, such as soups, also contain MSG–a flavour enhancer that causes brain damage. Sodium and added sweeteners in canned vegetables and fruits are also a concern. What are the benefits of buying fresh food instead of canned? One thing I love about switching to a real food “diet” (a.k.a. the old-fashioned, common sense way of eating), is that there’s no deprivation–you’re actually getting the better end of the deal! Here’s what you get when you buy fresh food instead of canned: Better taste (all the complexity of flavour is still intact) Better nutrition (when you eat closer to the source, less nutrients are lost along the way) More variety (you have a lot more options for preparation when you buy a whole, fresh peach!) Less packaging (a lot of resources go into making a can. And a lot of cans end up in landfills) Sometimes fresh food is less expensive, too! Soup, for instance. Instead of buying a couple of large cans to feed your family for one meal, you can make a large batch of soup and feed your family all week. What canned foods do we still buy? Although Eric and I have drastically cut back our canned food purchases, we still buy a few things canned–at least for now. Here’s what we buy canned: Wild Alaskan salmon Sardines Tuna Tomatoes Coconut milk Pineapple (a couple times per year) And that’s it! We haven’t bought canned peaches, pears, green beans, soup, refried beans, etc for years! - See more at: richlyrooted/2014/06/ditch-canned-goods.html?utm_content=buffer19ad5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer#sthash.WW98WxBu.dpuf
